“The Hard Way” – Song Lyrics

July 26, 2005

8/1986

Yes I know that our love’s getting colder,
And I know that what we had is gone,
And before this old love gets much older,
We have got to build it up strong.

CHORUS:
Yes and I learned my lesson the hard way,
Whatever we try to do
Is gonna hurt me and you.
Yes and I learned my lesson the hard way,
Not with love and open arms,
But with pain and scars,
Yes and I learned my lesson the hard way.

And whenever I think about the future
All I see is us breaking apart,
What we need is some love and some laughter,
What we need is to give from the heart.

SPOKEN: And I know

CHORUS:
Because I learned my lesson…

I wish that our love would grow stronger,
I wish that our problems were gone,
But now I know that we will stay together,
And we’ll try to rebuild this love strong.

Hi Daniel!
Thanks for swinging my my blog and your insightful words about my poem “Passages.” I’ll be back again. Off to paint more on that collage I’m working on. Soon, I’ll be posting more poems on my blog. Have a super weekend! 🙂

Welcome to the Beach

Stretch, relax, enjoy the sound of the ocean and the smell of the salty air. Open up a can of something refreshing, wiggle your toes in the sand, and surf your way around the page...

You'll find adventures, love, melancholy, seriousness and silliness in these pages. But whatever you do, please leave your mark commenting on what you find buried in the sand, whatever hidden treasure you discover.

Take Some Sand Home With You
